I don't know why this amuses me so much, but it does. I just love when people display their own ignorance by attempting to "correct" others. (On the other hand, this is where we get hypercorrection from, so it's not all great....)

"You'll notice that the majority of novels use the word 'the' extensively. You haven't used the word 'the' even once in your story. Clearly you must correct this egregious error if you want to be considered a fiction writer."

How odd. My best stuff has been written in present tense. I love the feeling of immediacy it gives.

(I think I misspelled immediacy. Damn.)
